Universal Audio Apollo X16D Ultimate – 16-channel Dante interface with real-time UAD processing, 6-core SHARC DSP, and immersive mix support up to 9.1.6 format.
Apollo x16D Ultimate combines the reference-grade sound quality of Apollo X interfaces with the flexibility of Dante networking and the power of over 200 UAD plug-ins in real time. Designed for concert halls, recording studios, and broadcast environments, it enables recording and mixing with authentic emulations of legendary gear from Neve, SSL, Auto-Tune, Lexicon, and more.
The interface provides 16 channels of Dante I/O, 24-bit / 192 kHz AD/DA conversion, and a 6-core DSP processor. With full Dante compatibility, up to four Apollo x16D units can be networked into a 64×64 audio system with redundancy.
